WE MIGHT BE SHIMMERING LIKE PLANTS IN THE NIGHT
Choreography/Performers: Madison Palffy and Molly McBride
Music: Boy Harsher, Zakir Hussain
Costumes: Madison Palffy and Molly McBride
Madison and Molly have made many things together although most of these things have been discarded, kept secret, started but never finished, performed as private ritual, or simply lost. From this fragmentary and collaborative process emerged a new piece that brings together many of our shared interests including: waste, landscape, apocalypse & queer futures.
We are a new species of plant-animal that feeds on trash piles and communicates in crystalline tones. We are regenerative, ecstatic golden creatures. We might be shimmering like plants in the night.
This piece has been performed at AS220 in Providence, RI as a part of the Providence Movement Festival, at 10Forward/The Root Cellar in Greenfield, MA and at Flywheel Arts Collective in Easthampton, MA. A new iteration of the piece will be shown at The Provincetown Dance Festival in June 2020.
